Chapter 283 Yan Ling teases Ying Zheng's test!

Seeing the close gestures of the two people, Xiaomeng raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "Studying is getting better and better, and doing Taoism is getting worse day by day. Loss and damage will lead to inaction, inaction and everything."

You have reached such a state of cultivation, how come you still can't see through the love between men and women?"

Hearing this, before Ye Zhang said anything, Yan Lingji was the first to speak: "This guest is too lenient, isn't it? What does it have to do with you if our family members whisper something?

Judging from your age, I guess you have never experienced love between a man and a woman. How about my sister teaching you?"

As she spoke, she winked at her, but her words were unceremonious. Although she had little practical experience, it did not prevent her from having a good time.

"You can do whatever you like, as long as you don't disturb my Qingxiu."

Xiaomeng said lightly and stopped talking.

At this time, Ye Zhang said: "Okay, Xiaomeng is going to stay with us for a while. You go and clean up the room. You can also take him out for a walk if you have time."

"A new generation replaces an old one, man, ha!"

Yan Lingji curled her lips and snorted, then turned and left, leaving only a resentful look in her eyes...

A few months passed by in a hurry. In the main hall of Xianyang Palace, a tall and humble figure stepped into the hall slowly and unhurriedly. He respectfully saluted the First Emperor who was sitting above him and said, "My son, I pay my respects to my father!"

Ying Zheng, who was reviewing the memorial, put down what he was doing, glanced at the former and said, "Get back on your feet."

Fusu stood up after hearing this, looked at the other party and said respectfully: "Is your father okay these days?"

Ying Zheng said: "I am fine, you don't have to worry. I called you back this time to see if you have made any progress recently. I have been supervising the country for a long time, but have you learned anything?"

Upon hearing the question, Fusu replied in a neither humble nor overbearing tone: "Father, the emperor, after taking charge of the country, in addition to handling some government affairs, I also went to various places for inspections.

The most touching thing among them is the hardship of the people and soldiers."

Ying Zheng nodded: "Go on."

Fusu continued: "A few days ago, I went to inspect the construction of a large canal. Many people had no clothes and no food to eat, but they had to bear the heaviest labor. Their lives were very difficult.

Cheng also tried to live with those people for a day, and it’s hard to imagine how they survived.”

As he said this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. When he thought about the time when he saw the peasants in ragged clothes and sallow complexions working hard, he felt pity and sadness.

Although using people's power in this way will bring a lot of pressure, there is nothing that can be done. After all, there are too many places where Qin needs to employ people.

After years of war, there was a serious shortage of labor. In this case, we could only squeeze the power of the people and use one person as two people.

This was a helpless move and was caused by the general environment after the war.

But because of this, Fusu also understood that if the people wanted to recuperate and live a good life, it was not just a decision of the monarch.

Whether people are poor or rich depends more on the state of the entire country. Only when the country resolves internal and external troubles can people's livelihood be stabilized.

Hearing these words, Ying Zheng didn't say anything more, but continued: "Have you been to the military camp too?"

Fusu nodded and said: "My son stayed in the camp for half a month, eating and living with the soldiers. He also followed an army to the outskirts of the city to suppress a group of bandits."

I still remember that when I saw the scene of the soldiers fighting with the bandits, I felt very uncomfortable. Especially when I saw the blood on the ground and the broken arms, I couldn't help but want to vomit.

The painful wailing and the fearful and unwilling eyes before death impressed him even more. For the next few days, he was unable to sleep peacefully, and even if he fell asleep, he would wake up in the middle of the night.

After that, he deliberately trained himself and cut off the head of a gang leader with his own hands. From then on, the nightmare never appeared again.

Even in the subsequent battles, Fusu was able to calmly observe the battlefield situation and analyze the tactics of both sides, and would no longer be surprised by such a scene.

At the same time, his heart seems to be gradually becoming tougher. In this process, he also understands that sometimes excessive kindness can also be a burden.

It is good to have a benevolent heart, but you must clearly distinguish the objects, methods and timing of exercising benevolence. In troubled times, being kind will not only harm yourself, but also bring a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Especially as the king of a country, you cannot be blindly merciful. Sometimes being more indifferent and ruthless may save more lives.

Looking at the eldest son's firm eyes, Ying Zheng knew that he had grown a lot. In the next hour, the father and son had a long conversation.

From his words and attitude, he could feel the tremendous changes that the other party had undergone in the past few years. Although he still advocated benevolent government, he was much more decisive and no longer affected by personal emotions.

It seems that he has begun to show a completely different side from before. Occasionally, for a moment, he even seems to see his original self in Fusu's eyes...

After talking freely, Ying Zheng seemed to have thought of something, and continued: "In addition to the common people and soldiers, there are some people who need to pay special attention."

"Please give me some advice, Father."

Fusu cupped his hands and said.

Ying Zheng said straight to the point: "The chivalrous people used martial arts to break the rules, and the Confucian people used literature to mess up the law. The words of those literati are more powerful than the swords of soldiers."

Hearing this, Fusu's expression changed and he asked tentatively: "Father, do you mean Confucianism?"

Ying Zheng heard this and said: "Although Confucianism has not caused any trouble at present, it has always been on the edge of governance. Zhang Liang, the third leader of the Little Sage Zhuang, was born in a Korean prime minister and has always been repelled by the Qin Dynasty.

Moreover, the group of Confucian scholars have always been the best at inciting public opinion. The land of Qilu is also where the remnants of the Six Kingdoms gather, so we must be on guard against it. So I want to know the Confucian attitude towards the Qin Dynasty."

Hearing this, Fusu reacted directly, cupped his hands and said, "I would like to take a trip to Sanghai on behalf of my father, the Emperor, to find out whether this famous sect has any disobedient intentions."

Ying Zheng nodded with a smile: "In that case, let me leave this matter to you. I will let Zhang Han lead the Shadow Secret Guard to escort you."

"Thank you, Father."

Fusu cupped his hands and replied.

At this time, Ying Zheng's eyes flashed, he thought for a moment and then continued: "Don't forget to pay a visit to the Imperial Master when passing through Yingchuan. If you can get his help, the trip will be much smoother."

"Promise, please keep this in mind."
